+Warwagon MVC Posted March 18, 2014 MVC Share Posted March 18, 2014 For a while now i've been running my Quickbooks off a laptop sitting behind my monitors with the lid closed accessing it via RDP on the lan. It's a machine that's never been on the internet and only has Quickbooks and Office installed. Doesn't even have flash. The Laptop worked great, but If that laptop were to up and die I would kind of like a fall back. So I bought 2 Intel NUC DCCP847DYE's. 1 as a spare in case the other one dies. I bought 4GB 4 DDR3 as well as a 64GB msata drive. The computer is insanely easy to assemble. There are 4 screws on the bottom and then the bottom pops off. Then you just slip in the ram and the SSD and screw it back up. They come in Celeron, i3 and i5. I bought this one because it has to do is run Quickbooks and Outlook. Nothing Fancy. The Celeron is about 12 Watts Idle and 23 Watts Load and retails for $144 bare bones (Gotta include the RAM, msata and wireless card if you want wireless) 3 USB 2.0 ports 2 back 1 front 2 HDMI which can support dual monitors I've heard 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port No audio out other than over HDMI I would imagine. This photo is upside down because the bottom of the computer was off. The Interactive Bios is top notch. snaphat (Myles Landwehr), Sadelwo, .Ruby and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1205527-intel-nuc-dccp847dye-celeron-847-such-a-cute-little-machine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 We use similar models at work. They work great to attach to the back of a large display. They also sell wireless modules for them. We have fun with those intel noise boxes to. Hide them places.

HawkMan Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If I didn't have my two media centers yet. the bigger models off these with a i3 or i5 room for a proper HDD, fan cooled and with an IR receiver would be my device of choice. But my Shuttle box is finally working on the upstairs home cinema now and my good old self built HTPC/Server is doing it's job in the downstairs living room, needs to have it's fans replaced with new ones though.

With everything I just listed i'm getting a estimated up time of 66 minutes. Obviously it will be less than that but still impressive. That little NUC really must be power efficient.

Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted April 9, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted April 9, 2014 Well, heavy can mean that it has a lot of juice. I got one before, it was a "box of junk" from Woot. It wouldn't work, so I took it to a battery store, and they got nothing out of the battery. All it's weight was probably from the steel shell.

Would have liked to have seen those a year or so ago before I built another machine. A NUC makes for a great "hideaway" or "guest" PC (and nothing says it can't be both) - as long as it has enough USB ports you don't even need an internal drive of any sort. USB keyboard, USB mouse, and USB thumb drive to boot and/or run your OS of choice and you're golden. If you DID use an mSATA drive (such as the Plextor M6m), then any OS under the moon (let alone sun) could be installed. (Literally - look at the NUC hardware and compare it with supported hardware for almost any OS - including Linux distributions or Android x86 for the truly perverse; a NUC, even the lowest-end one, can run any or all.) Micro-formfactor, basically.

I can think of several use cases for them - the biggest one is guest PCs (visiting family in particular) with external drives pre-loaded with any of several OSes (from Knoppix and Android USB sticks to - in the supremely-silly case - Windows and a selection of F2P MMOs, such as Rift, DCUO, Planetside 2, etc. The current midrange NUC (i3-driven) is about where Kentsfield was - and you CAN run Windows 8.1 on Kentsfield today. Hang a USB keyboard/mouse on a NUC as well (wired OR wireless) and all you need is a display - which need not be fancy - a TV will do.

Kind of different though shuttle actually can fit a full size graphics card and it has active cooling so the CPU won't get throttled and it won't be quite as noisy as some of the NUCs can get with the tiny high speed fan. NUC great from pure HTPCs and pure home PC use. If you need or want some gaming, you'll want the shuttle XPC's.

spacer Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Does the case include the motherboard and processor? The amazon page is woefully lacking in detail.
